How embarrassing

Quiz on skin disease or D&D character, posted at work. I took it.

Skin Disease or Dungeons and Dragons Character?



Score: 94% (15 out of 16)



Note, please, that even though I work for the company that makes D&D, I got this many correct because I know a skin disease when I see it. Except for one.

Oh, dude, I used to say that it was only gaming that kept me from knocking over 7-11s, and it wasn't that far off from true. *g* It's the best way to vent those stupid-people frustrations. But I don't fit into D&D's model in so many ways right now; it'd be excellent if fourth really does change that. Lately I've been into online journal gaming; I can be EXACTLY as creepy and cracked-out and SCARY as I want to be. There was a period of extreme stress where I was coming up with the worst warning I possibly could and writing to fit that.

I've heard of Amber, but I've never played it. I've played very few actual systems, really, or at least long-term. I mean, I've played like four sessions of Shadowrun; I have no fucking clue how it works. Have you ever tried GURPS? That's a really flexible system (and it actually is!)

I had a friend who would use GURPS stuff to supplement his campaigns. Whether it was our "Top Secret" espionage game, or our D&D game.

His brother-in-law would run Shadowrun for us. I LOVE that game, and am not very happy about it being revised for a 4th edition either. ;)

I don't know anyone else that plays it though, and our group disbanded after my former friend and wife moved to North Carolina.
